The forest floor was cold and sodden, echoing the hollow void inside you. Grief pressed down like a physical weight after watching Jenna meet her brutal end by Klaus’s hand. You crumpled into the wet undergrowth, tears falling unchecked. From the shifting shadows, a figure emerged—Elijah Mikaelson. His suit remained pristine amid the disorder. He approached with deliberate grace, then knelt beside your shattered form. His arms encircled you, creating a silent refuge. “I am sorry,” he murmured, his voice a deep, steady vibration close to your ear.
